A little bit of a chaotic adventure with two women who are so alike that they hate each other. I know, it needs a lot of work and I have friends catching lots of errors but I would like all the help I can get. Please review!

It was a beautiful
day, the sun was high and bright, the sky was a light blue that
dazzled everyone, the birds sang their songs fully and beautifully
and Gods bless how she hated it!

Acqura
sat in a tall tree, her back to the trunk and her eyes burning with
annoyance and distaste. Had it been up to her, she would have still
been in her little house in her huge mountains far from the eyes of
others. That was where she belonged, not in the leafy forest she
currently found herself in. Baring her teeth in the general direction
of the city she had been ordered to, she jumped from her branch and
dropped to the ground.

Landing
easily on her feet, the woman straightened and let her hair down from
a bun. Long masses of black hair fell down her back and shoulders.
The tips were pure white at her waist and flamed varying lengths up
her back. Her fierce face was framed by white locks, only the roots
of them black and pure black hair grew to just her shoulders.

Her
clothing was exotic, yet simple, simply because she had her own
style. She wore a dark brown leather vest that clasped up her front
and was pulled tight around her body. Most women she saw wore pretty
dresses and skirts that twirled and puffed. Not only did her
profession suggest against those skirts and dresses, but she found
them incredibly ugly. Instead, she was dressed in loose black pants
that hung on her hips and tied at her ankles, over her thin leather
boots.

However
plain and out of the ordinary her clothes were, they did not fail at
covering her, yet showing the shape of her small and lean body. Her
bare arms were powerful and strong, her stomach was small and nothing
but muscle under the leather. Though the pants in no way clung to her
legs, when she moved their shape was outlined and her grace screamed
that well trained muscles resided there too. Her face and skin was
soft and clear. It looked as if she had been brought up in a house of
a noble and, if one ignored everything else about her, it would have
seemed like she had never worked a day in her life. Even so, there
were tell tale signs that she had seen more than just a manor wall or
castle gate. The soft and clear skin was tanned from the sun in her
home and every once and a while a scar would show up on her shoulders
or arms. Not to mention the look in her eyes showed none of the
ignorance she knew ran through 'nobles'. She had lived for twenty
years and she had seen and encountered more than most did in their
life time. Such was the curse of fate.

Muttering
to herself, Acqura looked around the very small clearing that held
the tree she had just climbed and sighed, picking up her pack, bow,
and quiver of arrows. Almost all of her possessions were in that
pack, and it almost depressed her to think about it. Sighing angrily
she looked to the sky and whistled loudly before crossing her arm
moodily and waiting.

It
was not long before an incredibly large, black eagle broke from the
canopy of the first and circled her. For the first time a small smile
twitched at the side of her lips and she held her hand out to the
bird. Obediently, the creature winged his way over and landed gently
on her arm, careful not to hold onto her flesh too tightly. The woman
brought her arm back and started to gently stroke the creature,
running her hands through his feather and making soft noises to him.

"Sky,
why did I have to be the one to do this?" She growled, her voice
surprisingly soft for her and smooth as velvet. "She has other
slaves." Her blue eyes started into the eagle's golden ones for a
while before she smirked, looking around her. "I wonder…" She
lifted her arm and sent the eagle soaring into the air. A dangerous
look on her face, she tightened her grip on her bow, readjusted the
quiver on her back and started to race through the trees of the
forest with an agility that would have stunned everything but wolves
and large cats. With every step she took and every beat of Sky Soar's
wings behind her, the smile and look on her face intensified. For a
moment, she thought she would be able to escape, to get away and live
her life without having that annoyance following her around.

As
her fate would have it, she could not get away that easily and came
to a sliding halt in front of a woman she was getting sick of seeing,
even though the woman would have any and every man at her feet
begging her to touch them.

She
had short hair that framed her face and had jagged horizontal stripes
going down them, alternating between flaming red and the darkest of
black. Her body was rounded and covered in glittering red robes.
Green eyes graced her face and long fangs like Acqura's poked just
slightly out from under her lips. The sight of her made Acqura curse
most colorfully and the woman simply smiled.

"Is
that any way to speak in front of a goddess?" She asked.

Acqura
just looked at her, a sneer plastered on her face. "You are no
goddess." She spat on the ground before the woman's face.

Sighing,
the woman waved her hand as if this had been covered before and she
had to explain again to someone who was not paying attention, or to
someone who was just plain stupid.

"Now,
now Acqura. I may not be a full goddess yet, but I'm getting there
and I am the servant of a few so you should so me some respect."
She smiled. "Besides, to you I am as good as. You should be
thankful that I have chosen you as a follower and blessed you with my
power and my guidance." Her beautiful moss green eyes narrowed at
Acqura. "Though, for a chosen follower you do tend to go astray
often."

The
mortal human scoffed and crossed her arms, forcing Sky Soar to land
on her shoulder when he showed up. "Blessed? Guidance?" She
snarled. "You cursed me with a little of your image and the ability
to change my form. As for guidance, you send me to do your chores.
This is no blessing, this is punishment for stealing from your cart
ten years ago."

The
woman smiled. "Exactly. I need to teach you and enlighten you.
Perhaps one day you will thank me for it and submit to calling me
your goddess."

Acqura
smiled, but it was more like she was baring her fangs at the woman.
"I will never call you my goddess and you can't keep me here.
I'm…"

She
was cut off by the woman suddenly right in her face and clearly
angry.

"Look,
Acqura. I'll make you a deal. If you stay, if you watch over my
sister's prize, I will free you. I'll take back the power, I'll
give you everything you had back and more. You can keep your mountain
and you can keep my bird. Just do this."

Electric
eyes gazed into green and Acqura laughed softly. "You're scared
aren't you. Is your sister an actual goddess? I bet you're pretty
pissed about that." She snickered at the woman. "But fine. If you
promise to free me, I will take care of the little wench your sister
want for herself."

Their
eyes still boring into each other, Acqura held out her hand to the
woman, her face daring and dangerous. Standing tall and proud, the
woman glared at her errant servant before clasping her hand and
vanishing.

Sighing,
Acura looked over at Sky Soar. "You told her didn't you." He
just looked at her, but she could see the laughter in his eyes. "You
cruel soul." She held out her bow, quiver, and pack out to him.
"For that, you're carrying everything."

The
bird ruffled his feathers angrily, took flight and snatched up her
possessions on his way to the sky.

Smirking
after him, she woman suddenly felt alone and the feeling angered her
beyond imagination. With a disgusted snarl at herself, she pulled her
'gift' to her consciousness. A light flowed over her and in her
place stood a large and gorgeous white tiger, its black stripes
contrasting harshly yet beautifully with the white fur. The creature
growled and padded away in the direction Sky Soar flew, obviously not
pleased with this turn of events.
